Jags Wire free agency guide: Everything you need to know

With the legal tampering period begging at noon today (Monday, March 12) and the new league year beginning on Wednesday at 4 p.m., fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars will be routinely checking for the latest free agency updates over the course of the week. Luckily, we’ll be here to make that process a bit easier with the latest in team and league news.

As it stands, the Jacksonville Jaguars have just over $29.5 million available in cap space (per Spotrac) to sign any free agent that hits the market Wednesday or even one of their own. Below is a list of the all the Jags’ free agents as well as some names they could bring in from the open market:

Unrestricted free agents list

Unrestricted free agents can sign with another team at the beginning of the new league year, which begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. EST. However, they can begin negotiating with other teams Monday (March 12) at 4 p.m. EST.

QB Chad Henne

OG Patrick Omameh

WR Marqise Lee

WR Arrelious Benn

WR Allen Robinson

TE Mychal Rivera

LB Paul Posluszny

LB Lerentee McCray

CB Aaron Colvin

LS Matt Overton

Of this group, the marquee names to watch are Allen Robinson, Marqise Lee and Aaron Colvin, all of whom are expected to have solid markets if they aren’t retained. Robinson will especially be a player to watch as he’s expected to be a top-4 player on the market if the Jags can’t re-sign him.

Restricted free agents are players who the Jags have the option to tender (explained here), which allows them to match an offer sheet from another team. Based on the type of tender, the Jags could get compensation for the player if they do not match the offer sheet and the player signs with a new team.
